How to speed up CKEditor

Question

We are creating a blog application, and we are in the process of choosing a WYSIWYG editor. We need very few features, so our first choice was jwysiwyg . It is very fast, but it was somewhat immature for our needs, so we switched to CKEditor (with its jQuery plugin). It is very stable and very customizable, but the first copy of the editor takes some time ... We followed the recommendations, but we are still not satisfied with the result.
What can we try? Is there a stripped down version / fork of CKEditor that we could use? Or is it already at "maximum speed", due to its plug-in architecture with load?

Answer 1

If you don’t need all the functions, then the first step is to recompile it, removing all the plugins that you don’t need, so it will be smaller and there will be less code during initialization.

In addition, if you use custom plugins, you must combine them in cceditor.js.

After that, you need to check if there are any additional files that you upload that you can combine (for example, using only one language file).
